Announcing the 6th Bead Soup Blog Party ®

Please click here for the full rules and description of the Bead Soup Blog Party.


As I mentioned after the last party,
I will be taking all who wish to participate.

(Exception: If you joined a previous party but never posted your creation.)

To that end, I'll be hosting THREE reveal days.
 This should give people time to enjoy the blog hop,
even if there are a lot of participants.

During sign up days, you will be given 
the chance to ask for a certain date
and I will do all I can to comply.


PLEASE UNDERSTAND:
 
Rarely, if ever, is anyone able to visit all the blogs.
Participating in the hop is supposed to be fun for you.

You should not feel stressed over visiting all the blogs.

There are a few blog hops in the art arena
that have many more participants then the BSBP,
yet they're fun and engaging.

Be in it for the fun and your chance to be creative!

Grab the button!

Just save the photo,
open the photo Gadget in Blogger,
(you may have to uncheck the "shrink to fit" option)
 and where it reads "HTML",
enter
http://lorianderson-beadsoupblogparty.blogspot.com/
into the form.

Then move the button to where you want it on your sidebar.

If this won't work, email me and I'll help you!

You can also join the Facebook Group, Bead Soup Cafe. 

Once I get your name, I can approve you

and you can join in the conversation and camaraderie!

And you don't need a blog to be at the Cafe!

The sign ups will occur on my main blog, 

Pretty Things, 

June 15-17

See you then!

Bead Soup Blog Party ® mentioned in BeadWork magazine

Thanks to Michelle Mach's writing, the Bead Soup Blog Party got a lovely write-up in the June 2011 edition of Super BeadWork magazine.

The article in Bead Buzz talks about the upcoming Bead Soup Blog Party, with sign-ups August 1-3, and features a necklace made by Heather Pyle from a Bead Soup sent to her from Emanda Johnson.

I'm so thrilled to see the excitement of the Bead Soup Blog Party get out to an even wider audience and I'm hoping this next party will be even more festive than ever before!  I have plans in place to create an easier way for blog hoppers to navigate and get a quick glimpse of the jewelry before clicking to each blog -- if things work out the way they should, this not only make for less stress but will also give a permanent place, here, in this section of the Pretty Things blog, for everyone's creation.

Until then, visit the post below, grab the blog hop button for your own blog, and get those creative ideas going!
